Is A Triple Major Possible

Is it possible to triple major at SFSU?

You would want to consult with a counselor or representative from the departments to make sure that you are taking all of the right courses and that you are taking as many courses that "overlap" requirements as possible. Best of luck to you!

Is it possible to triple major at UCLA?

It's possible but not always desirable. You'll need to petition the College for this, and they'll want to see an established GPA. Think about a minor or two instead.

Is it possible to triple major?

I am extremely in triple majoring in Arabic, Chinese, and French and was wondering if it is possible and if it is possible to do this at the University of Utah or the University of Texas at Austin. Also, how can I do this (e.g. Do I talk to my dean or the head of the college I am interested in performing this?) Thanks very much in advance!

Is it Possible to Triple Major?

It's possible to major in as many things as you want. However, you might not have the time for it. If the majors relate to each other, you can fill credits fast and graduate in four years. However, if requirements don't overlap, you're either looking at taking summer school every year or graduating in more than four years. It's not that helpful to major in unrelated things if you can't use them all towards one career. You can still take Dance classes without majoring in Dance you know. The same applies to other majors. You can take courses in that department without majoring. You might considering taking a minor in something else and not triple majoring.

Is it possible to triple-major and minor?

if your university has no upper credit limit for graduation it is possible. It would just take you a very long time. There's no way you'd be able to graduate in 4 years, that's for sure. But many universities do have upper credit limit. For example, my school has a rule where you cannot take more than 210 units. If you do, you will not be able to graduate. However, you can apply for special permission but that takes a lot of work.
Also, if you want to learn a language, you don't have to major in it. Majoring in a language requires many extra classes about history and departmental general education classes that doesn't teach you the language. A minor will be more than enough for when you get a job in the future, unless you plan on becoming a language professor or scholar. Also, public policy and international relations are interdisciplinary, which means they will most likely have courses that covers sociology and even some psychology.

Is it possible to do triple major in college?

Where I did my undergraduate (University of Calgary) this was possible, and I know someone who did it.However, why would you want to?Reason 1: I haven't decided what I want to do.Counter argument: A degree with multiple majors will not help you decide, and it doesn't get any easier as you get older. A University isn't the real world, and your education will not teach you what it's really like working in a specific career field. It's likely your professors don't even know, as they are professors and often never worked in the field they are teaching about. The only way to find out is to talk to people that actually do the job.Reason 2: It will put me ahead of others when I am looking for a job.Counter argument: Think again. When I am hiring someone and I see a triple major, the words unfocused and indecisive pop in my head. An employer is looking for that person that was born to do that job, not someone applying for thousands.Reason 3: It will impress people.Counter argument: Perhaps your fellow undergraduates, but not people that have went through a degree program. What is impressive is straight A’s and graduate degrees. Multiple majors will dilute your time, likely causing you to have lower grades. I have seen multiple majors stretch the years of a BS to be more one more than someone taking a BS and a MS in different fields. Which to you is more impressive?Reason 4: I have an interdisciplinary interest I am trying to address.Counter argument: Multiple majors require core courses in each discipline, many of which you won't want or need. Better to take a degree in the closest field, with supplemental courses as options in the other disciplines, and work on those grades.

Is it possible to study more than a triple major?

The ability to double major or triple major depends on whether this is something your university allows (for example, my university only allows double majors), the amount of coursework you personally can handle, when you'd like to graduate, etc.On another note, I would consider thinking about how a quadruple major would benefit you. What are yourprofessional and career goals? Are the subjects closely related? Do you need to study this many subjects at the undergraduate level? In other words: Would it be worth it?Consider this scenario:A student has interests in Spanish, economics, statistics, and computer science. Many of these subjects, as minor and major combinations, would complement each other very well. After some thought and reflection, the student decides that they are most interested in a B.S. in Data Science, which incorporates coursework in both statistics and computer science. The major even allows them room in their schedule to take some economics electives. While the student has always been passionate about the Spanish language, they decide they will self-study or enroll in some language courses at the local community college after graduation. Rather than take on extensive coursework, the student revised their interests and considered which coursework would benefit them most.

Is it possible to triple major in four years?

It can be done -- in extremely few places. Most colleges restrict students to no more than two majors, and many will only allow one. And at the vast majority of colleges, the presence of a core curriculum makes the idea of a triple major impossible because you simply wouldn't have enough free credits to pull it off. Due to this, most of the colleges where it is technically possible -- Brown University, for example -- are ones with no core. And even then, it's still rare.

The reality is, most students don't actually want to "triple major" -- they simply have three fields in which they're interested. In those cases, they can achieve their goal of studying each by doing an interdisciplinary or self-designed major that combines elements from all three fields, or by taking advantage of minor options instead of majors. There's simply no need to do a full major in each subject.

Furthermore, the idea that a triple major makes graduates more appealing to graduate programs or prospective employers is actually the opposite of the truth. Triple majors usually indicate that the student's background is not very well-rounded, that the student did not challenge her/himself by doing substantial coursework outside their comfort zone, or worse yet, that the student was simply trying to triple major for the sake of "looking good." (To be honest, that's usually how it's seen.) So do coursework in three areas, sure, but don't exceed more than two majors if you really want to be successful in the long run.

Would it be possible to triple major or double major and minor in these fields?

Accounting is a master's degree. But recommended majors in college for pre-accounting include Economics, Business, and Management

Law is not an undergraduate degree. In your years in college, you can be pre-law, which is a career track. A law degree is called Juris Doctor (or J.D. degree), which you obtain through a Law school after you obtain your bachelor's degree.

Computer Science is a common major for a bachelor's degree. Both UCLA and Stanford offer Computer Science as a bachelor's degree.


So you said you want to go to UCLA and Stanford, and if possible, both of them. My recommendation is to go to UCLA to obtain your bachelors degree (it will be cheaper since UCLA is a public school). You can major in anything from Economics or Business, or Computer Science (or even double major). Then, you take the LSAT (the "SAT" for Law) during your junior year in college. Then you apply to Stanford Law school. That's another 4 years. You can work as an IT ninja during your time in law school.

As far as triple major, that's a bit hard. The reason is because all schools have a unit or credit limitation to graduate. And it's usually between 180 and 220. If one major is 80 - 100 units, then it makes it difficult to triple major. However, my friend last year tripled major from UCLA. She followed a strict pathway since freshman year. But she also majored in 3 things that were low in units so she could stay within the graduation unit limitation. One of her majors was Philosophy (and I can't remember the other 2). I double majored in Psychology & Film, plus I minored in Computer Information Science, which is similar to IT.

When you enter college, make sure you go to a counselor or an adviser and tell that person your plan for school. They will tell you specifically if it's possible and if it is, how to successfully do it. All schools are different. But first things first, you have to get into the school. UCLA and Stanford are difficult schools to get into. I got into UCLA, rejected it, as I lived in LA my entire childhood/teen years. It was stressful living near the 405 freeway. Plus it was always polluted. I never applied to Stanford, but I wish I did as it is a much greener school.

Is it possible to double major and triple minor?

you can double major or you can double minor. However, if you meet the requirements to graduate in 4 years---they are going to graduate you no matter what. You would have to re-apply into the undergrad program and get another degree in whatever you would like. Colleges have a limit as to how many courses you can take per semester. SO that plus the fact that they are getting you out in four years---dont set yourself up for failure. I double majored but was unable to have a minor. It was alot of work and classes are scheduled at a certain time every semester and will conflict with eachother making it impossible to take every class possible. If you want to be a doctor you would go pre-med and you can get a double major in one of the fields available but they will not give you leeway to take on more courses because they want you to focus on them. Also some schools are seperated into smaller colleges--for example Fordham University has the general "college" and then the "college of business"--and you are not allowed to major in business and lets say psych.
